All Around The Town

Picture
    As my grand children live over 2,200 miles away it's a sad fact of life that I normally see them fewer than half-a-dozen times a year.
Picture
Picture
    But the bright side is that our visits, though infrequent, are always special occasions, happy, memorable times that we fill with as much fun and activity as we can.
     To this end, after we returned from our trip to the Berlin Resort in Amish Country (see previous post) we spent the next six days searching out interesting and fun things to do in Columbus, Ohio, of which there are a plethora,
...not the least of which can be found at Easton Town Center,
Picture
...an upscale shopping mall that is like a little city within the city, a miniature New York or Paris; 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    ...that is to say, a miniature New York or Paris where they took out everything except the stores, restaurants, and a movie theater.  
     We ended up taking a couple of trips to Easton, as even if one cannot afford to patronize the upscale establishments,

Picture
Picture
  ...one can always grab a bite to eat at one of the many available less expensive food options,
Picture
...and, of course, it doesn't cost a cent to spend time strolling around the streets of Easton, window shopping,
Picture
...enjoying the pretty scenery,
Picture
...and playing in the fountain,
Picture
 ...all of which we did on Tuesday, the day after we returned  from Amish Country.
       However before heading to Easton we first did our serious shopping,

...at Walmart, of course (See post from   7/28/2018),
Picture
Picture
...where he girls shopped for school clothes.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    We picked up a few groceries as well, one-stop-shopping being one of the perks of patronizing Walmart.
    Next we swung by Old Navy, where the girls also had luck finding a few nice pieces.
Picture
Picture
Picture
     Then, the school clothes shopping done, we headed to Easton,
...for lunch at Bibibop,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and then out to play in the fountain.
      Afterwards we returned to the indoor area of the mall where the girls discovered, among other wonders,  
...the joys of Claire's.
Picture
Picture
Picture
      They also discovered the mall's little free library,
Picture
Picture
...and so we stopped for a reading break before heading home.
    Now, I had invited Tommy and Emily over for dinner that evening, but we'd ended up spending so much time out on the town that by the time we arrived home it was 6:30 pm, too late to make dinner,
...so we all went out to Olive Garden instead.
Picture
Picture
   Afterwards when we arrived home Tommy and the girls put on a little show,
Picture
Picture
...which rounded out the day  nicely.
